Man City midfielder Barry: Cops can't faze Tevez

Manchester City midfielder Gareth Barry hailed teammate Carlos Tevez after his hat-trick in victory over FA Cup opponents Barnsley.

No-one at City was surprised to see him fire his club into another FA Cup semi-final with a hat-trick in Saturday's 5-0 win over Barnsley just 48 hours after being arrested near his Cheshire home, allegedly for driving while disqualified.

"That's the type of guy he is," said midfielder Barry. "Nothing really fazes him. It takes a lot to take his mind off it and get him agitated. Once he is on the football pitch, and if you had seen him at training this week, it's as though he has got no problems away from the pitch."
